Lindsay Hubbard and Matt James have not confirmed a relationship despite brief summer 2026 dating speculation after they were spotted together at a New York event. Hubbard responded playfully to gossip without offering confirmation, and recent reports show her casually hooking up with Below Deck Mediterranean’s Joe Bradley since September following their crossover filming. She has publicly described her post-breakup status as a “hot girl summer” and “hot girl fall,” emphasizing she remains single and selective while maintaining a close friendship with ex Carl Radke. With no official statements or further sightings linking her to James by mid-October, trader consensus favors no confirmation occurring before year-end. Upcoming Bravo seasons and social media activity remain the main catalysts to watch.
